Zombie Gameboy is better at eating brains than playing Tetris

What happens to portable video game systems when they die? Why, they become zombies, of course. One creative individual has shown us proof of this occurrence with his custom-made Zombie Gameboy figure.

This brain-eating (or motherboard-eating?) undead portable is the creation of self-proclaimed nerd Donald “kodykoala” Kennedy. He got the idea when he found an old Game Boy in his garage, and was reminded of the old Captain N cartoon. The late 80’s animated series featured a life-sized Game Boy character, whose face was displayed on the device’s screen. As the system that Kennedy found had seen better days, he figured a zombie was the way to go.

Though the resulting figure has already been sold (for $100), Kennedy generously lists the elements that went into his creating the walking dead game system. For the face, he printed a Halftone Pixel Zombie face from Sparetype. An Iron Man Mark I figure donated his feet to the project, with an Iron Monger collectible supplying the hands. Exposed wires make up the creature’s arms.

A circuit board is held by the Zombie Gameboy as the trophy of his last gruesome feast (perhaps at the expense of a Sega Game Gear?). The artist wanted the creation to have a blood-soaked appearance, but, as it isn’t human, he went with a metallic brown paint job. To top it all off, it appropriately has its batteries exposed on the backside:

Kennedy has created many other video game-themed figures, and is somewhat surprised that one of his less time-consuming projects has garnered so much attention. He said that if there were enough demand for the Zombie Gameboy, he might be willing to make a few more.
